A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to 9 the ancient technique.Years after that, he mastered the technique.He 10 that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) 11 to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject,” he says.

语篇导读
主题语境:人与社会/戏剧。本文为说明文,简要介绍了昆曲这一中华文化瑰宝的历史。
1.答案 is
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。本句是主系表结构,also known as Kunju是非谓语动词作定语,空处应是系动词作谓语。此处描述客观情况,应用一般现在时;主语为Kunqu,系动词应用第三人称单数形式,故填is。
2.答案 from
解析 考查介词。此处指昆曲最初是从昆山当地音乐发展而来的,故应用介词from “从”。
3.答案 later
解析 考查词性转换。此处表示后来,在16世纪至18世纪期间,昆曲在中国戏剧中开始展示它的重要性。此处应用副词作状语修饰整个句子,表示“后来”,故填later。
4.答案 was introduced
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。此处是谓语部分,描述的是过去的事,应用一般过去时;动词introduce与其主语Kunqu之间为动宾关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was introduced。
5.答案 beginning

6.答案 Having entered

9.答案 which
解析 考查引导词。空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面提到的康熙喜欢昆曲这件事,故用which。
